Reviews

Just about everything about this film is winning and gratifying.

The outcome is widely known, but the backstory proves boisterously entertaining — and incredibly well-suited to the current climate, as King was both fighting for her gender and exploring her sexuality in 1973, when the widely publicized face-off happened.

Served up with star turns from Emma Stone and Steve Carell, Battle Of The Sexes slams a crowdpleaser across the net.

The conflicts are obviously real, but there is something about the tone that’s just off through most of the picture.

Although it may be lacking originality, Battle of the Sexes is finely-tuned storytelling that has been consummated by real pros.
